Well the simple answer is don't, and of course you know that.

Sorry I am contemplating.

No don't give in, not in a million years, you want sobriety so have it, be strong and your boyfriend will have to learn to deal with it.

Not easy I know, but there is never a good time I am afraid.

Stick with your girlfriend I say

Lets put it another way, I would not let anybody tell me what to do

I think you know the answer to that one, misery loves company. Didn't you post about an unwanted tramp stamp on your body from drunkenness? If this is what you want then don't let anyone stop you.

sooo dont do it .... tell him if he presures u too drink then he can go alone ... tell him you will be DD so him and his work friends can get drunk and embarass themselves... i think this is the hardest part about being sober for me ..it makes me the party pooper ....sucks ....

Is that a joke?? You so-called BO must not care much about your well-being.
If you are truly alcoholic this is the last thing he should want for you.
Really, do you guys get that fired about drinking to talk about a week ahead of time??
Plan something with your gal-friend,"maybe a meeting"
& thet get a bite to eat or something.
You know what to do!!
There is fun out there without drinking, believe me.
Dont let alcohol take over your personality.

Would you be able to attend his christmas party and not drink? You've already made the commitment to stop so now you just need to make plans that support your decision.

You can order a tonic and lime without the gin - no one will know you are not drinking. I do that often. I have found that people respect the fact that I don't drink - quite a bit. What you are drinking really has nothing do to with your boyfriend - I don't understand his problem. How can it affect him?

Don't drink...

See what your sponsor thinks...

Bring your own vehicle so you can leave if you become uncomfortable. Keep a drink in your hand. You know, like a soda or whatever you like to sip on that doesn't have alcohol in it. If your motives are to be supportive too your s/o and to be there purely for the social aspect of it then you will be just fine.

If you are new to sobriety you might want to chill with some of your sober friends instead.

You need to do what's right for you.
My sobriety is life and death for me. I would not have any of the things I am getting back without being sober.
It's good you have a supportive friend, and if you boyfriend doesn't understand that you want to move your life into sobriety.....
I know that for me, no person, place or thing is worth me dyiing a drunk for.
I have faith tha you will do what's best for you no matter what you decide.

umm you don't drink if that's what you want to do, would you even want to be in a relationship based on alcohol. You can always get another man but not another life. take care.

You guys all had Great responses to my question. Thank you. I think I will drive separately in case I need to leave. And I will keep a water and lime in my hand.
I love water with a lime!
